If you study Jesus’ life, you’ll find He was never afraid to ask (scholars cite over 400 questions in the four Gospels!). As pastors, we are always asking questions, too. We often call it an invitation, a next step or a challenge, but it’s a part of what we do every day.
In this 3-hour resource, experienced pastor, coach and church growth expert Nelson Searcy outlines the five most eternally important invitations and then unpacks, explains and applies them. You will dive deep into how to become a master asker of those invitations.
Through these five invitations you will:
- help people follow Jesus for the first time,
- kick-start a stagnant faith, and
- help church members grow deeper in their relationship with God
You’ll be able to break through hesitation and indecision with simple adjustments to how you speak, lead and invite!

Nelson is also the author of over 100 church growth resources and 21+ books, including The Renegade Pastor, The Difference Maker the brand new Breakthrough: Discovering God’s Power for Your Problems.
When you overcome the fear of asking, you’ll see your ministry reach new heights of life transformation, such as more people:
– Coming to faith in Christ
– Returning to church again
– Answering the call to volunteer
– Stepping up into ministry
– Deciding to get baptized
– Joining the church as a fully engaged member
– And much more!
In fact when you don’t learn to make the ask, you can do great harm to your people and your church…resulting in:
- Overworked pastors and staff
- Disruptions to discipleship
- Roadblocks to evangelism
- Slowdown in your overall church growth
- Understaffed ministry areas
Don’t let that happen to your ministry! The practical teachings in this resource will boost your confidence as a pastor and breathe new life into every area of your church.
